Chapter 111: Kill
The sound of whimpering in the Causeway Village kept echoing, and it couldn't help but make the listener cry.
After Qi Tian and the group of men, women, and children returned to the Causeway Village, the first thing they felt was the cold wind and sad atmosphere in the village.
Feng Wu flew around and returned to Qi Tian's shoulder, but kept shaking his head, "Alas, this village is over, the young and middle-aged people have less arms than those who have fewer legs, and all those who walk neatly and can move things are dead, but there are still a number of children left, if no one helps, I am afraid that they will die." ”
Qi Tian frowned at first, and then looked indifferently, "Let's see what the situation is first! ”
"Right and wrong?" Feng Wu muttered, and then leaned on the second gray head, "Where did it come from, what is wrong." ”
When the villagers saw the return of the "soldiers", they immediately greeted them, but they were stunned when they saw Qi Tian.
"This is Qi Immortal Master!" The old man in the team hurriedly came out to block the inquiring eyes of the villagers, and then said with a serious face, "If it weren't for Qi Immortal Master, we wouldn't have survived this time!"
Qi Tian touched his nose when he heard this, it seemed that if Feng Wu had not stopped the attack of Tongluo Village at the beginning, those few soldiers of Wu Yunguo would have been captured by these people, so in this way, not only did he not help, but he made Tongluo Village have losses.
"Immortal Master?" the first person in the crowd muttered this, and then there was a moment of silence, and then there was a burst of discussion like a volcanic eruption!
"It turned out to be an immortal master! The sky has eyes! The sky has eyes! My Tongluo Village has been saved!"
"Immortal Master, my dead brothers and sisters, did your heroic spirits bless us in Tongluo Village?"
"Woo, these big fat brothers don't have to die, they don't have to die......"
Qi Tian listened to this heartfelt words, and his first impression of this Tongluo Village was that the people here were simple and simple, and it seemed that they had really suffered too much injustice!
"Don't disturb the Immortal Master! I'll take the Immortal Master to the old village chief now!" The old man went through the initial stage of excitement and apprehension, and now he faces this matter squarely, and he also understands the pros and cons of this matter.
The reason why Tongluo Village suffered an unwarranted disaster is because there is something in Tongluo Village that makes cultivators feel excited! And this thing is the foundation of Tongluo Village, so how can it be easily handed over to others?
The failure of a negotiation has left the Tongluo Village with no more young and middle-aged laborers, and this is only the beginning! The old village chief now regrets it too late! Even if he handed over the holy relics, the blood feud between him and Wu Yunguo would have been concluded! What can a Tongluo Village, which only has the old, weak, sick and disabled, compare itself with Wu Yunguo? How can it face the revenge of Wu Yunguo's dead relatives?
Qi Tian walked around the tall stone and wooden buildings in the Causeway Village, and had some idea of the scale of the Causeway Village.
In Qi Tian's view, this Tongluo Village is equivalent to a small county town on the earth, and it can be seen from the architecture here that it must have been self-sufficient and materially abundant. After passing through the residential area and a commercial street, you will come to a square like a football field, which, unlike the modern square, has a lot of stone mills and stone grinders placed on it, presumably mainly for crops.
After this square, go further in, you can see that there are layers of terraces on one side of the mountain, and now there are a few old women with drooping children on the terraces to take care of it slowly, and there are bamboo buildings in the middle of the mountain.
"Successive village chiefs have lived in the bamboo buildings on this mountainside," the old man explained, "on the one hand, it is relatively quiet, and on the other hand, it is easier to manage this spiritual field." ”
"Lingtian?" Qi Tian originally looked at this place as if it were an ordinary southern village, but he didn't think that this was actually Lingtian!
Lingtian, as the name suggests, is a field that can give birth to food with spiritual energy. And spiritual food has many benefits for physical cultivators!
This method is the most common method for monks to take elixirs to increase their own aura and speed up the time for advancement, but the elixirs will generate resistance for monks! That is to say, if a elixir is eaten too much, its effect will become less and less obvious, and even eating low-level elixir will soon make this medicine no longer effective for monks. And the spiritual food does not have the slightest side effects, although the medicinal effect is very small, but the cumulative effect from snack to old age is infinite!
Generally, only the core disciples of the big family and the inner disciples of the Great Gate Sect can eat spiritual food, which also makes some people's pursuit of spiritual food even worse. What you can't get is always good.
Although Tongluo Village has spiritual food, it is also eaten as a food to strengthen the body, and they have no way to practice the body, and they have a strong body, which is also to live up to this unique advantage.
Qi Tian shook his head and followed the old man into the bamboo house.
"Little friends are here, and I can't welcome you from afar. The old village chief's voice was kind, but it was difficult to hide the grief in his heart, he sat in a wheelchair with a stiff smile on his face, "Presumably this little friend is also here for the holy relics of my Tongluo Village!"
The old man stopped after Qi Tian entered the bamboo house, and when he heard the voice of the old village chief, he sighed with sadness.
"Holy relics?" Qi Tian sat on his left hand in the hall and shook his head, "I did come for myself, but not because of any holy relic. ”
"Oh?" the old village chief's face was furrowed, his hair was white and messy, he looked like he had been dead for a long time and crawled out of the coffin, he looked at Qi Tian questioningly, "Not for the holy relics?"
"It's only been a day since I met your Causeway Village, and I didn't know anything about your Causeway Zhai before," Qi Tian told the truth, "I'm just pursuing my way of Xianxia, and I only want the right word in Xianxia!"
The old village chief looked at Qi Tian in shock, unable to speak for a long time, and after a while, he smiled bitterly, "It's that Xiao Lao'er thinks too complicated, and now among the monks, there are really few monks like Xiaoyou." ”
"Please also ask the village chief to tell Wu Yunguo and the Causeway Village the truth, and then I will make a decision," Qi Tian smiled casually, only feeling that what he was pursuing now seemed to be what he was yearning for in his heart, and a sense of accessibility arose, "As for whether what you said is true, with my skills, I can understand it after a little inquiry." ”
"Yes. The old village chief picked up a pipe beside him, lit the tobacco leaves inside, and his eyes became deep and sad.
Qi Tian was not in a hurry, and did not urge him to speak.
"It all started ten years ago, when my daughter Shi Yun had just turned twenty years old and was a good hunter in this Causeway Village," the old village chief said slowly, his voice long and long, accompanied by the sound of Xun in the distance, which only made people fall into sadness.
That year, she went out hunting, and for three whole days, she did not catch any prey, but brought back a handsome scholar covered in blood. Shi Yun said that the arrow she shot was deviated, which hurt this son, so this time I must save this scholar, I do know that my girl must have moved her heart. Shi Yun took care of him all day, and after more than ten days, the scholar woke up, but when he woke up, he was confused and forgot the past. ”
The old village chief took a deep breath of his cigarette stick and exhaled a thick white smoke, "That scholar has been here for a year and a half. In the past year and a half, the scholar taught the children in our village to read and write, boxing, taught the young people in the village to fight, archery, and taught the women how to weave. But I didn't think that the spiritual food prepared at the wedding banquet was the source of all these changes!"
"What kind of scholar is that! After eating the spiritual food and the spiritual energy, his identity as a monk was revealed!" the old village chief said this, his voice trembled, even if it had been so long, even if he had accepted it, he still couldn't suppress his hatred, "He didn't even finish the wedding and ran to my Tongluo Village! If the story ends here, it will be fine." ”
At the door of the bamboo house, Ershen put one ear on the door, listened carefully to the conversation in the house, heard the emotion, its tears flowed out irrepressibly, and the "ah-woo" donkey cry was suppressed by it quietly, its frowning brows, biting the teeth of the lower lip, pear blossoms with rain eyes, it is really a rare delicate donkey.
"Although Shi Yun was devastated, she still gave birth to the child and named it Shi Gui, I know that she has been looking forward to his return, and this is a year. When the man came back, my daughter put on the clothes of the wedding day, held his child in her arms, and wanted to finish the wedding with him! Ahem, cough ......" The old village chief coughed violently twice, his eyes were red, "But all he thinks about is Lingtian!
Qi Tian looked at the current Causeway Village, and naturally knew that this place had not been moved, so today's disaster must be related to that time!
"My ancestors in Tongluo Village have not practiced for generations, but it's not that they don't know anything about cultivation! Shi Yun has been wronged like this, and my Tongluo Village has been threatened like this, and I impulsively used holy relics," the old man's deadwood hands blocked his eyes, "At that time, I drove away these monks, but it caused such a crisis now! My son apologized with death, and my grandson died with others! I no longer have a good young man in Tongluo Village! All this is to blame on me!"
"I didn't expect that these monks were obviously practicing the Immortal Dao, but they were all so human-faced and beast-hearted! In order to take away my holy relics, they surrounded my Tongluo Village, and saw one person kill another! I didn't expect that the Heavenly Dao was so unfair, saving one person's life would make the whole clan perish!" The old village elder burst into tears, but he no longer suppressed the resentment in his emotions, "Immortal Master, ask the Immortal Master to protect my remaining Tongluo Zhai clansmen! This Lingtian, that holy relic, please accept it from the Immortal Master!"
Qi Tian clenched his fists, "If that scholar is really such a wolf-hearted person, he should be killed!"
